Strategies

- Pacing: Paolo should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. It can be tempting to start fast and push hard in the beginning, but this can lead to fatigue later on. By pacing himself properly, Paolo can ensure that he has enough energy and endurance to perform well in all segments of the race.
- Transitions: Paolo should aim to minimize the time spent in the roxzone during transitions. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training can help him save valuable time during the race.
- Training Balance: Paolo should aim to strike a balance between strength training and running training. While he performed well in some strength-based segments, his running performance could be improved. Incorporating more running-specific workouts into his training routine can help him become a more well-rounded athlete.
